Willie Absent As Humor Mag Publication Due
Bor the first time in liis highly publicized career, Willie the Wampusbird has failed to carry out his duties as advertising agent for the Wampus.
Astonishing as it may seem, that pedantic offspring of an amorous vulture and a fallen seagull did not circle low over the campus Friday scuawking out the dope on this week’s issue.
This situation, arising just before the famous magazine makes its appearance on campus, is more than a little unfortunate. The Daily Trojan, in the interests of public service, has decided to deal off a little informal advance publicity, devil-may-care.
An astounding offer by the national guard is one of the absorb-ing advertisements adorning the pages of the campus comic book. Throwing open its doors to welcome new members, the guard has a sales talk packed with laughs for the veteran.
Two-bits down, and tlie rest when the editors catch you also buys the low down on Nesbitt's orange drink, Jack Raley’s Hudson agency, and the Trojan Camera exchange.

Best Candidate Will Get Votes, SAE Reveals
As an aftermath to Thursday's spirited IFC session, Sigma Alpha Epsilon revealed that, acting on instructions from their national headquarters, they will no longer support any particular candidate for campus offices.
According to Emil Matyas of SAE, this action will not affect SAE’s relationship with IPC or any other fraternity, but merely means that SAE, like Kappa Alpha and Sigma Chi, will support any candidate they deem to be best fitted for office, regardless of whether the candidate has the endorsement of IFC.
On Thursday, SAE voted with 10 other houses in support of an amendment, introduced by Frank diMarco which would have ended the system of IFC endorsement of political candidates by amending the by-laws of the council.
Jim Young, Sigma Chi, said Friday that his fraternity was gratified that SAE had seen fit to take this action.
“We have never felt that politics should have any part in IFC affairs,” Young said, “and we are glad to see SAE take the same stand as Sigma Chi and Kappa Alpha.”

Willie Absent As Humor Mag Publication Due
Bor the first time in liis highly publicized career, Willie the Wampusbird has failed to carry out his duties as advertising agent for the Wampus.
Astonishing as it may seem, that pedantic offspring of an amorous vulture and a fallen seagull did not circle low over the campus Friday scuawking out the dope on this week’s issue.
This situation, arising just before the famous magazine makes its appearance on campus, is more than a little unfortunate. The Daily Trojan, in the interests of public service, has decided to deal off a little informal advance publicity, devil-may-care.
An astounding offer by the national guard is one of the absorb-ing advertisements adorning the pages of the campus comic book. Throwing open its doors to welcome new members, the guard has a sales talk packed with laughs for the veteran.
Two-bits down, and tlie rest when the editors catch you also buys the low down on Nesbitt's orange drink, Jack Raley’s Hudson agency, and the Trojan Camera exchange.

Best Candidate Will Get Votes, SAE Reveals
As an aftermath to Thursday's spirited IFC session, Sigma Alpha Epsilon revealed that, acting on instructions from their national headquarters, they will no longer support any particular candidate for campus offices.
According to Emil Matyas of SAE, this action will not affect SAE’s relationship with IPC or any other fraternity, but merely means that SAE, like Kappa Alpha and Sigma Chi, will support any candidate they deem to be best fitted for office, regardless of whether the candidate has the endorsement of IFC.
On Thursday, SAE voted with 10 other houses in support of an amendment, introduced by Frank diMarco which would have ended the system of IFC endorsement of political candidates by amending the by-laws of the council.
Jim Young, Sigma Chi, said Friday that his fraternity was gratified that SAE had seen fit to take this action.
“We have never felt that politics should have any part in IFC affairs,” Young said, “and we are glad to see SAE take the same stand as Sigma Chi and Kappa Alpha.”
